Project Engineer

Job Description

Sustainable Talent is working with a Tier 1 contractor on an exciting Substation project in the Southwest of England (Bridgewater, Somerset):

Project Details and Duration

  • The project is a substation next to a much larger project run by another company, which includes a large data center and an EV battery factory.
  • The substation is a 400/132 KV substation.
  • The team has just mobilized the site.
  • Work currently involves getting the equipment in place for overhead lighting connections, followed by civils work.
  • This is a six-month contract with the possibility of an extension.

Role and Responsibilities

  • The work currently is heavy civil work, and the role is "a little bit of everything".
  • Once the work begins, it will be a typical Project Engineer role.
  • The ideal candidate should be able to coordinate across the project, look at two or three work packages, and see the bigger picture—almost thinking like an assistant project manager.
  • The ideal candidate may need to have been a Senior Project Engineer in the past.

Required Experience and Qualifications

  • Specific required qualifications are:
  • Safety Instructions (NSI)
  • Earthing Control Person (ECP).
  • Earthing Application Person (EAP).
  • LVAP.
  • The candidate does not need to have worked directly for Grid, but they need to have worked on Grid projects and built up those qualifications.

Working Conditions

  • The working week is 45 hours, predominantly Monday to Friday.
  • There are no planned evenings or weekends.
  • The general start and finish times are 7:30 to 5:00.
  • The role is site-based.

Please let me know asap if you would like to be considered for this role.

If the role isn't of interest to you, but you know someone who would be a good fit, please remember that we offer a fantastic referral scheme for successful candidates.

Many thanks and speak soon
